Zhang Linlin (張玲麟, born Xiangxiang, June 12, 1933), better known by the Hong Kong stage name Chung Ching (鍾情; Zhōng Qíng), was a popular leading lady of Hong Kong films in the 1950s. After completing 54 films from 1953 to 1967, many of them in the leading role, she retired from film at the height of her career to become well known as a painter using both shui-mo and Western watercolor techniques.[1]
